The spec sheet that comes with the LA10-DS references tension zip closures and sleeve pockets(?). Simple mistake or beta version that was simplified? Would have been nice to have a zip somewhere so items are more secure when slung, but the pockets are fantastically spacious. Also – technically there's no internal pockets, but the pocket bags are sewn to the hem, so you can use them as massive pouch pockets. Also Also – Duties on these into the US were more difficult to change than any other item in recent memory, but I was able to successfully change it from 25.9% to 7.1% by convincing them it was actually a shirt jacket with code 6201.40.4500.

Just want to say that J96 is my favorite shell I've bought from Acrnm in a while and people are sleeping on this one. Been really enjoying it over the last few weeks. Some thoughts: Cropped cut feels really fluid in motion / riding a bike. Dolman sleeve makes this the easiest shell to layer over anything. The sleeve basically cuts down to halfway down the side so it's almost like you're in one of those flying squirrel suits. For reference, compared to the J1A where you put anything more than a long sleeve on and you feel like the Michelin man, the 96 feels completely unrestrictive. Makes me excited to layer with in winter. Micro-ripstop has a really nice hand-feel and sheen. Nice change of pace from the standard. The styling on Errolson is terrible and over-accentuates how cropped it is. Umit stying is more true to how it looks IMO. Half of the cuff is elastic which is a detail I haven't seen on a shell before. Fit's the oversized shape very well and helps taper the arm. Hand pocket configuration is super functional, especially with the mezzanine pockets behind the tension zips. Don't expect to use the Storm Hat, but I like the docking hardware you can use to clip it to the side of the ForceLock. I wouldn't mind having the same type of "dock" added to the hood as well.

Anyone have any thoughts on what this jacket might be? Looks like WS or maybe Pertex Quantum. Shoulder detail is gorg

Excited for a true raglan sleeve shell. J96 looks great.

Damn, didn't realize John Mayer was on this forum...Welcome

WTS J84-S RAF – L – Brand New – $1,650 shipped from NYC.

I totally agree. The minimalist jackets often have just as much complexity as the maximalist ones like (J1 / J47A / etc), the features are just hidden from view. J84 is a good example where it has tension zip pockets, a unique collar design, and the side pockets are absolutely massive, but on the surface it's more discerning and subtle – it feels like the Rick Rubin of Acronym jackets lol

Did anyone actually buy the J1W or did they make a million? I actually think its a great jacket. I love the new colors and the fit while slightly comical makes a lot more sense to me. The J1A is tight af if you take your TTS imo and it's a joke with a warm insulator attached. The J1W looks like you can actually move in it. Having said all of that, I feel like this is the downside of releasing a J1A every year. I know I'm a going to see 30 of these and that makes me want it less...

WTS – S27-PR (L) in Black. $250 shipped.

I'm the exact same height as Errolson so I tend to be an M in most shells. I also sized up to an L given it was a profile fit and I still find it relatively constricting. As for the fabric, it doesn't feel like it matches the price point. It's a cotton / poly blend (88 / 12), but when you feel it, you're almost surprised it's only 12%.

Received the S27 today. A little underwhelmed by the fabric feel and weight, but the pattern is beautiful. I do find it a bit ironic that even though the pattern is obviously designed for maximum freedom of movement, the shirt feels much more restrictive than it would if you were to just make the arm hole itself a bit wider...

What does -PR stand for?
